    Earnings Per Share = $1.35

    Explanation:

    To calculate the basic earnings per share, we first need to compute the Weighted Average No. of Shares Outstanding:

    Jan. 1: 409 * (12/12) = 409 * 2 = 818 million

    Mar. 1: 29.4 * (10/12) = 24.5 * 2 = 49 million

    July 1: 13.4 * (6/12) = (6.7) million

    Weighted Average No. of Shares Outstanding: = 860.3 million

    Note: We multiplied by 2 in Jan. 1 and Mar. 1 transactions to account for common stock split 2 for 1.

    Now calculate the Earnings Per Share:

    Earnings Per Share = Net Income

    Weighted Average No. of Shares Outstanding

    Earnings Per Share = 1,161.405

    860.3

    Earnings Per Share = $1.35
